They are very different schools. I think your chances for getting a workable financial aid package from Grinnell is greater than your chance of getting a workable one from Reed. That said do not apply there ED without visiting.

I am a Reed graduate, and many in my family have gone there. Reedies do not spend that much time in Portland. It is an intense school and the students who are successful there focus on what is going on on campus. I really like Portland; I lived there after finishing at Reed, and visit friends and family there at least once a year. I highly recommend living in Portland, but during the academic year at Reed you will hardly know it is there, even if you live off campus.
